Zac Propersi, Engineering Manager at Sentry, can tell when a page is not loading as fast as it should — just by looking at it. While working on our new Metric Alerts feature, Zac noticed that the alerts pages were rendering slowly. Being the super Sentry user that he is, he wrote a custom query in Discover to see just how slow the transactions were.
Since the beginning, Sentry has adopted SemVer (semantic versioning) for all of its open source releases — major versions indicated breaking, backward-incompatible changes; minor versions meant new features, and patch releases were bug fixes only. This process worked fine for a long time. As the open source project evolved and grew into Sentry.io – our SaaS offering – the development team switched to a continuous delivery model.
Once an app is launched to market, it’s up to the engineering team to ensure that it continues to meet its SLAs. See how we use VMware Tanzu Observability (Wavefront) and Sentry to proactively monitor and fix issues before they become production problems. Every engineering leader has experienced the anxiety and stress of taking an app to production. It’s a mix of excitement and trepidation – your creation will be used in real life, but what if something goes wrong?
Recently, Atlassian announced 12 new features to help improve collaboration across software teams. These new capabilities and some help from Sentry & friends aim to help developers spend more time building the products and services their customers want. Here’s a more detailed look at how Sentry integrates with Atlassian products and leverages Bitbucket’s new Code Insights feature.
Heroku is a fully managed, container-based, cloud platform for deploying and running modern apps. Heroku takes an app-centric approach to software delivery and integrates with today’s most popular developer tools and workflows. One of today’s (and yesterday’s and tomorrow’s) most popular developer tools is Sentry.
Netlify allows developers and businesses to publish modern web projects right from your git repos. There’s nothing to set up & no servers to maintain. This past month, Netlify launched Build Plugins, which allows Netlify users to automate and customize their build processes. We loved what the Netlify team was building and how they were automating tedious tasks for developers. So we built the Sentry Netlify Build Plugin!
In rotating their tech support tasks, Reciprocity is finding a better way to monitor their code — and a better feel for their process. Joe Alfaro, VP of Engineering at Reciprocity, shares how Sentry helps his team resolve problems before customers can report them. Like most companies, Reciprocity constantly iterates on the best ways to support our product.
Dogfooding is the practice of sampling your own product before the public does. For dog food executives, chowing down on their own kibble is a literal gut-check. For Sentry, we’ve been using Performance in advance of its upcoming release as a way to think through our own issues, all so we can give you better visibility into yours. Context is critical for software teams. It bridges the gap between a problem to solve and the right person to solve it.
Week after week, developers work tirelessly to publish updates that improve the stability of their mobile applications, so people like me can rely on our phones for work, play, and even occasional childcare. So to all those on a bug fix rotation right now: thank you. Unfortunately, my appreciation isn’t actually a great indicator of a release’s success. Developers are looking to Sentry to provide insights like version adoption, crash-free sessions, crash-free users, etc.
As one of the leading grocery delivery services in India, Grofers needed to make massive fulfillment adjustments as demand rocketed due to an entire nation sheltering in place to help control the spread of infection during a global pandemic. For the Grofers team, providing much-needed grocery delivery service is as much of a technical challenge as a human resources one.
